OWNERS INSIGHT

This house has been a fabulous family home for over 20 years but now it is time to move to a smaller property as my three children have grown up and flown the nest. It is a light airy house but at the same time has a cosy feel about it. It has a really spacious level private garden, not overlooked by anyone, with stunning uninterrupted views over the Westerland Valley from the terrace. It’s a quiet peaceful oasis. We are in a semi-rural location yet only minutes from the Torbay ring road with easy access to Totnes, Exeter and the rest of the bay. So convenient. The house has high tariff solar panels which is not only good for the environment but good for the pocket along with a heat pump for the beautiful swimming pool so keeping costs down. My family reminisce about growing up here with wonderful parties, sleepovers and Christmas’ around the open log fire. I’m hoping another family will enjoy this same experience.
